How about a spot of hiking bliss?

Walk on high

Comfortable or challenging, more mountainous or more flowery: the entire Lech Zürs hiking area includes 305 km of signposted hiking trails and leads up the Lechtal Alps, along mountain lakes and past Alpine lodges.

Uncompromisingly good

We don’t compromise, but rather offer twice the hiking potential. The Arlberg Pass connects the federal states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg. In the middle is the hiking hotel Burg – your starting point. Hiking in Vorarlberg today, tomorrow in Tyrol? It’s all possible.

With us, even couch potatoes have become keen hikers who are the first to set off at sunrise.

Time for all-round views

It’s absolutely worth it. Gaze into the distance. Take it all in. Enjoy fantastic panoramas while hiking on the Arlberg. 360-degree impressions of nature. With you in the middle.

Legendary hiking

Legends of the region, history of the Walsers or natural history? The hiking tours are as varied as the themes.

On the Tannberg, you will experience ancient settlements of the former settlers from the canton of Valais in the old mountain village of Bürstegg.

At the mountain station of the Rüfikopf cable car, you set off on the circular Geoweg hike, which presents rock strata and fossils at 23 stops.

Three stages full of mythical creatures, legends. Field names and art. This is the Green Ring in Lech. The third, nature-infused route takes you from Zürs via the Sagenwald forest to the fairytale-like Libellensee lake in Oberlech.

Favourite route: Mohnenfluh

The personal favourite route of host Patricia Lorenz. There you pass the Butzensee with its emerald green water. There is hardly a nicer place to cool off in summer. On the Mohnenfluh at an altitude of 2,542 m, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Lechtal Alps.

That’s the summit!

It doesn’t have to stop with just the one summit. If you’re interested in climbing mountain peaks, you should mark the Rüfikopf, the Omeshorn, Kriegerhorn, Karhorn and the Tannberg on your hiking map. The view from all the mountains is great. Our tip: when choosing a route, pay attention to the desired difficulty.

Highlights on our in-house mountain

Just a short walk from the Burg, heaven and earth meet at the artwork “Skyspace-Lech”. The US artist James Turrell lends light an extraordinary strength. Our tip: visit at sunrise and sunset.

Holes on the mountain? The gypsum holes on the Tannberg are considered geologically unique in Europe. The formations in the nature reserve are impressive and if you’re lucky, a marmot might even say hello. Do you love orchids? Over 20 different varieties grow here in the wild. Plan a hiking holiday
